NZDUSD

Current trend

The Kiwi has developed a bearish momentum updating local lows capped by a risk-aversion mood which boosted the US dollar further. The position of the Kiwi looks vulnerable ahead of the Fed’s meeting tomorrow. The market is placing a high bet that Powell’s rhetoric may turn out to be hawkish again. Looking ahead, the spotlight will be on the publication of the New Zealand labor market data which is expected to face a slowdown in employment growth.
